editSpeedy deletion nomination of Alice Cleaver (Q2646855)
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Alice Cleaver (Q2646855) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

- I have declined this speedy nomination and moved the article to Alice Cleaver (there was a previously a placeholder to Passengers of the RMS Titanic#First class). You may also be interested to know an abandoned draft on this subject is at User:Golden User/Alice Cleaver. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 16:38, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
- Hi CactusWriter, Ritchie333, Golden User - I see that the article for Alice Cleaver has been redirected to the Allison family. I can see why someone would do this, but I have sources that tell a separate story for Alice that is not connected to the Allison family. In sources who talk about Titanic survivors, she was often mistaken for a different women names Alice Mary Cleaver, who had murdered her child. This controversy is spoken about in a few materials, and I believe warrants Alice to have a separate Wikipedia page. Sources: https://books.google.com/books?id=yWU8pYwJnpAC&pg=PA38&dq=Alice+Cleaver&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjouJz7qOjSAhVB6YMKHUKoDXsQ6AEIMTAD#v=onepage&q=Alice%20Cleaver&f=false and https://books.google.com/books?id=kvnBp7w_1xIC&pg=PT157&dq=Alice+Cleaver&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjouJz7qOjSAhVB6YMKHUKoDXsQ6AEINzAE#v=onepage&q=Alice%20Cleaver&f=false and https://books.google.com/books?id=jT-8P9ykSkcC&pg=PT35&dq=Alice+Cleaver&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjouJz7qOjSAhVB6YMKHUKoDXsQ6AEIQzAG#v=onepage&q=Alice%20Cleaver&f=false Seaveral (talk) 22:43, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
- More to the point, CactusWriter redirected to a different article (Allison family) than before (Passengers of the RMS Titanic). Since you can only have a redundant content fork off one article, not two, I think a de facto keep is justified, irrespective of sources, unless the former is a redundant content fork of the latter (which I don't think it is) or if Alice Cleaver is not significant enough to independently mention in the main Titanic Passengers article (which is possible, but needs discussion first). We should probably move this discussion to Talk:Alice Cleaver Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:38, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
- Hi, Seaveral. You're correct -- in fact, confusion between those two individuals of similar names appears to be the reason that this article was originally AFD'd back in 2004. Thanks for posting those links to sources. I have replied on the article talk page. — CactusWriter (talk) 16:24, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that a recent edit of yours to the page Borussia Dortmund has an edit summary that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. The summaries are helpful to people browsing an article's history, so it is important that you use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did. Feel free to use the sandbox to make test edits.
* In your edit here apart from adding another source, you also deleted some text, you should note this ie. "redundant text deleted" in you edit summary. I think that the text you deleted was better written than what you added a source to so I have edited it to be more 'encyclopaedic'. 220 of Borg 02:24, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
- Any text deleted would be accidental on my part, as I only added a citation. Another user edited the same page at the same time leading to an edit dispute, so perhaps it is the other user you are referring to as I wrote nothing additional and didn't see redundant text at the time of editing. Seaveral (talk) 02:30, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
- If you got an edit conflict when you saved your edit that could well be so. I presumed that you removed it as it was redundant, the bombing having been added in two places on the page. My apologies. 220 of Borg 06:45, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
- No worries! Seaveral (talk) 02:02, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
